OS X 10.9.3 Public Launch Imminent

[macwanabe]

Graphics performance remains poor in latest build (13D61) 22% slower than 10.9.2 on ATI/AMD 7950.

Waterproof

Will this update finally make my Mac waterproof like iOS 7 did for my iPhone?

Let me guess: MacPro3,1?

Was not the case in 13D55, isn't with 13D61 in 4,1 > 5,1/HD7970 either.
OpenGL / OpenCL versions are the same.

Where is this update? I've been waiting in front of my computer for the last 24 hours and it still isn't available in software update!

Are you a Developer? This build is only available for developers, it hasn't been released to the public beta seed program.

that's pathetic

I got 13D61 yesterday along with the Safari 7.0.4 preview, but not the 13D62 update mentioned in the OP. But these are still developer builds, there is no general release yet, although I'd expect one relatively soon.

I was referring to the headline that states "OS X 10.9.3 Public Launch Imminent".

I know you are keen to get it. Although I have the new beta build 13D61, I am also interested in when the public release occurs because that is when the full installer goes onto the mac app store - and then I can make a bootable usb of 10.9.3. You can't actually do that with the beta updates.

Nevertheless we shouldn't rush apple. They should only release it when it is ready.

How about apple.com/feedback

You think I haven't tried?

Apple doesn't seem to really care what its users WANT (especially when Jobs was alive; he flat out stated as such; it was what HE wanted that mattered and I don't think the current CEO personally gives a flying bleep about the Mac compared to the iPad at this point and has much as said so before.)

i don't personally get this one.. what would be the difference from disabling a
certain app from displaying notifications?

The difference is that if I disable it, it won't tell me when there's an update. What I want is to be told ONCE that there's an update and then update at my leisure rather than having it pester me endlessly. A simple "OK" or "acknowledged" option would solve that. Like the syncing thing, I believe it USED to have such an option ("NEVER" or the like) and Mavericks got rid of the option. Why do they remove useful things? That's what I don't get.

funny thing is, when they launched 10.9 i said: wow, cool, tabbed finder it's such a smart and useful thing!
then i completely forgot the exixstance of it and i still use finder as always (but with a worse "exposé".. i went back to using cmd+tab instead!)

I don't like Apple's tabs at all, the way they're presented. They're almost invisible. XtraFinder has much more visible tabs. I don't use tabs often, though. I do, however, use dual-pane all the time when moving files around. It beats having to open two windows and resize them, etc. Such things existed since the late '80s on the Commodore Amiga (Diskmaster and Directory Opus come to mind).

You think this update will finally bring fingerprint sensors and sapphire glass to my 2012 iMac?

No, but perhaps it'll make the screen 4K? That would be great...

Yes. Imminent. Meaning not yet, but soon. Wait for the headline 'Apple releases OS X 10.9.3'.

 

[mattburley7]

public release next week then?

Any reason why the issues (22% worse bij Macwanabe) with only the 3,1?

Thanks

Really hope you were just trying to troll.

Interesting, is there a way to write a firmware to the video card so it tells the computer it is an FireGL instead? IIRC wasn't there a hack not too long ago where you could turn a consumer card into a workstation card by writing the workstation firmware to the card?

[FrozenDarkness]

man, only 15" rmbp? Where's the 13" love? I thought Intel chips are capable of outputting 4K content?

 

[pmz]

[saxon48]

Maybe this coming Tuesday...?

[Mr. Wonderful]

If another week goes by, don't be surprised if this gets held until WWDC.

It won't get held for WWDC whether or not it gets released next week.

 

[patseguin]

The fixes they list seem pretty minor. Is there more to it than that?

They've done it before.
